Which actor co-chaired the 2024 Met Gala, making his first appearance at the event?

Chris Hemsworth co-chaired the 2024 Met Gala, making his first appearance at the event.

The Australian actor joined Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and Bad Bunny as the evening’s celebrity co-chairs. The gala took place on May 6, 2024, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Hemsworth was especially notable because he had never previously attended the Met Gala before serving as a host. He is widely known for playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a role that made him one of the most recognizable actors in contemporary popular culture.

A common mix-up is confusing the gala’s celebrity co-chairs with Anna Wintour, who has overseen the event since 1995. The co-chairs change from year to year, while Wintour remains the long-term chair and leading organizer.
